Characteristics And Uses Of Tungsten Steel Alloys

Characteristics of tungsten steel alloy
Tungsten steel products contain about 18% tungsten Tungsten steel belongs to cemented carbide, also called tungsten-titanium alloy. The hardness is 10K on the Vickers scale, second only to diamond. Because of this, tungsten steel products (commonly known as tungsten steel watches) have the characteristic of not being easily worn out. Commonly used in lathe tools, impact drill bits, glass cutter bits, tile cutters, hard, not afraid of annealing, but brittle. Belongs to the ranks of rare metals tungsten carbide has high hardness, wear resistance, strength and toughness, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and a series of excellent properties, especially its high hardness and wear resistance, even at a temperature of 500 ℃ also remain basically unchanged, in 1000 ℃ still have a very high hardness.

tungsten steel alloy use
Tungsten carbide alloy is widely used as cutting tool materials, such as lathe, milling cutter, planer, drill, boring tool, etc. It is used for cutting cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics, chemical fibers, graphite, glass, stone and common steel, and can also be used for cutting heat-resistant steel, stainless steel, high manganese steel, tool steel and other difficult-to-machine materials. Now the cutting speed of new carbide tools is equal to hundreds of times of carbon steel. Cemented carbide can also be used to make rock drilling tools, mining tools, drilling tools, measuring gauges, wear-resistant parts, metal abrasives, cylinder liners, precision bearings, nozzles and so on.
